I am having the same problem, well as far as capturing in HDV. As he said Michael he has turned off the “create new on start/stop” as have I, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I have ended up renting the deck for another day, which is not great for my bank statement. I know i can capture in DV Pal and the problem of breaking up the tape during capture won’t occur because it isn’t a feature of standard DV. But I want my project to be in HD as it is Wildlife that I shot and the picture quality means everything.
Desperately looking for more help than uncheck the “create new on start/stop” as I say I have done this and it makes no difference. How? I don’t know.
